Climate Hope - Stories of Action...

David Geselbracht

Climate change is a problem so enormous and complex—with threats so frightening in their implications—that many of us fend off confusion and hopelessness by simply turning away. Meanwhile, with delayed action, missed targets, and increasingly dire reports at the international level, a notion that the crisis is intractable continues to spread. And the proposed solutions can be just as daunting. They often involve jargon about gigatons of carbon and kilowatt-hours of electricity. In a deeply polarized political environment, any sense of the common purpose required to make these work seems to dissolve into denial or paralysis. With all this fear and conflict, the question must be asked: How do we find the tools and the hope we need to tackle such a wickedly difficult issue? 
 
 
 
In Climate Hope, journalist David Geselbracht blends in-depth research, expert interviews, and on-the-ground reporting in multiple countries, revealing remarkable efforts to identify the causes and impacts of climate change—and devise crucial ways to address them. The scale of the challenge is clear in the range of fields he covers, from glaciology and climate science to law and diplomacy. But in drawing these approaches together, he shares stories of hope, awe, and wonder that encourage us to confront this long-term, world-warping phenomenon with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.

Advanced Ancient Relics -...

John Harpoon

Throughout history, ancient relics have fascinated explorers, historians, and scientists alike. These mysterious artifacts, often shrouded in myth and legend, offer glimpses into the past that challenge our understanding of ancient civilizations. Some relics reveal technological advancements that seem far beyond the capabilities of their time, while others carry spiritual or symbolic significance that continues to intrigue scholars today. The presence of these objects raises important questions: Were ancient societies far more advanced than previously believed? Could these artifacts point to lost knowledge, forgotten technologies, or even connections to otherworldly influences?  
  
The allure of these relics lies not only in their historical value but also in their ability to inspire wonder. Objects such as the Antikythera Mechanism, an intricate device often called the world's first computer, continue to puzzle researchers with their complexity. Meanwhile, the Baghdad Battery—a seemingly simple clay jar—has sparked debates over whether ancient cultures harnessed electrical power long before modern discoveries. These examples, among many others, demonstrate how relics can rewrite accepted narratives about humanity's technological progress.
